This event is open to all women and membership is not required to attend.
Those who attend can participate in a holiday cookie swap. Those who bring a recipe can engage in a cookie contest, judged by Michael Joseph's Fine Foods team and last year’s winner Jill Stelben.
Wine and other beverages will be served along with hors d'oeuvres prepared by Michael Joseph's. A raffle will feature donated items from various businesses including Chelsea Piers, Spree, Pure Barre, CST 50 and the Sono Baking Company. Raffle tickets can be purchased online at ywcadariennorwalk.org with credit cards. Raffle tickets also will be sold at the event for cash or checks only.
"Every year we look forward to this fun and festive event which is quickly becoming a local tradition,” said committee chair Jennifer Clemow. “It is a perfect way to kick off the holiday season while supporting some of the YW's most important programs.”
Last year's event, which was sold out and attended by over 150 women, raised more than $7,400 for the YWCA Darien/Norwalk and its community outreach programs, such as Parent Awareness, which encourages the positive development of Darien youth by providing education to families, and Job Search Support, which provides guidance and training for women in all stages of the job search process.
